Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of anuloma viloma pranayama on vital capacity of different age group female. Ninety (90) female subjects were selected in early adulthood and their age ranging between 20 to 39 years. These female working subjects were selected from Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh and novice with pranayama. These subjects were classified into three groups based on their age as Group 1: 21 to 25 years, Group 2: 26 to 30 years and Group 3: 31 to 35 years each constitutes fifteen (30) subjects. The vital capacity was selected as criterion variable and measured through spirometer. The selected female subjects were administered Anuloma Viloma pranayama training daily in the morning between 06:00am to 07:00am for three months. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) on vital capacity between the groups was significant, F (2,86) = 63.39, p = 0.000. The findings of the study show that vital capacity tends to increase as a result of Anuloma Viloma pranayama training for three months. It is concluded that daily practice of Anuloma Viloma pranayama training for three months displayed significant increase in vital capacity among different age group female, among which 21 to 25 years old female subjects elicited 4.93% of increase in vital capacity
